Not running at moment because head gasket gone
78000 miles - taxed and MOT to Jan 07. Dealer serviced from new. Body in excellent condition. Any offers?
Forgot to say - vehicle year is 1998
and also forgot the location?
excellent condition. Any
£750 is my offer, why not gte the headgasket done?
Because they go again around 12 months later, the price of them second hand has gone through the floor and It would be much better in the long run with a stonking V8 shoved in :-)

More frustrated customers here....
then maybe I should take a look - just for fun
well that's a damn fine answer - no matter what the question :)
Seriously though, you'll have a problem trying to shift this. You really need to remove the head to ensure that it is only the gasket that has gone, otherwise you're possibly looking at over £1K to repair the damage. If it is just the gasket, then you need to find out why it went. this would help to shift the vehicle. I have seen all sorts of damage caused when the gasket goes due to water in the cylinder and compressed by the piston and either the piston holing or worse the block, not to mention bent valves and cracked head. The main prob is that it was fitted with such a poor engine in the first place that wasn't in any way up to the job. Typical cost-cutting by LR in my book
